Moderated by Consumer
Energy Alliance (CEA) President David Holt and sponsored by
the Society
of Exploration Geophysicists, this discussion will address the
importance of the United States' offshore energy resources to the
nation's long-term energy and economic security. Discussion will
include the current and future potential contributions of the
nation's offshore resources, non-technical factors, including
policy and market considerations that could potentially affect
their development, and steps that can be taken to ensure that the
country benefits from these resources to the maximum extent
possible.

With a new administration having recently taken office, and with the
U.S. Energy Information Administration having concluded that oil and
natural gas will comprise just as much if not more of the nation's
energy portfolio in 2040 than it did in 2015, this panel discussion
comes at a highly relevant time.

Note: This event is open to all credentialed media. Members of
the media must check in with Offshore Technical Conference media
center. Seats to this event are on a first-come-first-serve basis
and OTC will not provide media seating. Media is urged to leave
ample time to ensure they receive a seat. OTC will not allow
standing room.
